Xeno Crisis, the critically acclaimed arena shooter from Bitmap Bureau, is heading to Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo 64. In a surprise announcement yesterday, the indie publisher explained this was no April Fool and that pre-orders are open.
The new Nintendo ports of Xeno Crisis are expected to be shipping in three to four weeks. There is a choice of USA, European and Japanese variants with all orders including a complimentary ROM download. Those that only wish to purchase the ROM can pre-order it separately.
The pixel art masterpiece was originally designed for Mega Drive with ports to Dreamcast, Neo Geo and modern platforms soon following. It’s now a firm favourite amongst retro indie gamers and these new ports cement its popularity. We will bring you reviews of both ports as soon as we can.
